Quote:Basketball is a game of 5-on-5, so unless people are coming out of the stands playing defense I doubt that the Greek's homecourt advantage will matter. I have no doubt the atmosphere will be loud and hostile, but as long as the environment is safe and secure it's unlikely the stomping, flairs and chanting will intimidate the US players. If anything, the pressure of performing in front of the partisans could work against the Greeks, as it did during the 2004 Olympics.
Whatever you say, but those American players have never played in any environment like that. never.
